Despite recent rain showers, Grand County remains in Stage 3 drought conditions. Water conservation is mandatory in some towns and strongly encouraged in others. Please continue to do your part to offset our lowest water levels in decades.

Lots of fun doing hands on education with kids about mitigating pollution in our storm water. Grand County towns are in the beginning phases of treating our storm water, in order to protect the water quality in our streams. The library district is always a fantastic partner for increasing public awareness.

Always a great time at Polhamus Park on Thursday nights in Granby! Fantastic music, farmer’s market, great vibes, and of course our UCWET booth. Todd Park Mohr packed the house last week, and we had meaningful discussions about water with folks who stopped by. Face to face conversations are key to finding common ground to solve complex problems about water scarcity.

Big thanks to our local community who came out for the stream cleanup in Granby on July 3rd. We always have tons of people using our parks, ponds, lakes, and streams especially around the holidays. If you love our waterways, then please help us keep them beautiful.

Good weather today with calmer winds. Stage 2 fire ban means NO fireworks, and NO campfires of any kind. Plenty of fires burning across Colorado right now, and we all need to do our part to minimize wildfire risk. Stay safe and have fun.

All day and all night. No paycheck, no benefits, no retirement plan, no overtime. They just build the dams that provide the wetlands and habitat for other species. They build the natural firebreaks and filter toxins and sediment out of the streams. They have always been an environmental keystone species, and now during a historic western drought, it’s time to let them do their thing and just say ‘ thank you’ to these incredible creatures. Let’s go beavers!!

One week before the official start of summer, and the Colorado River is past peak runoff and flowing at about 25% of normal. Stage One Fire Ban was initiated yesterday. Get ready for a hot, dry summer after our historically dry winter.

Northern Water relies on storage in Lake Granby to provide water to the Front Range. It’s currently less than 2/3 full before summer has even started. After our record low snowpack this winter, our Colorado water supply on both sides of the divide is in crisis. It doesn’t matter how senior the water right are. You can’t draw water that isn’t there.

Already past peak runoff and we are month away from the start of summer. The Upper Colorado basin is working with about 22% snowpack this year. This means that anything less than an 80% reduction in consumption won’t help much. Stay tuned this summer for real time posts about west slope water.
